the orville is an infinitely better Star Trek than STD will ever even hope to be
Until it has Star Trek in the name, it isn't Star Trek. And please stop calling Discovery a STD, it's a TV show not a virus.
That's a very Tuskin thing to say of you.
Oh wait...

sorry but that's how letters work
"uh ackchuyally *pushes up glasses* there's a colon inbetween ST and D so it should be ST:D please stop insulting my precious TV-show i defend with my life"
No one called Voyager or Enterprise 'STV' or 'STE', so I don't know why you'd call Discovery 'STD'.
with Voyager, I just loved Janeway but the writers couldnt come up with what they wanted her to be. Which is a shame because I loved the actor
Yeah Janeway was basically schizophrenic the way the writers wrote her.
I wonder how many gay bathroom scenes we'll have in these season.

You seem to have the wrong idea about how show abbreviations have historically been. I've only ever seen people who don't like Discovery call it STD, it's pretty obvious why anyone would use it. Most of the time people call it DIS or DSC.
Considering one of them is dead, probably none.
Nah, STD works. Its an abomination of comedic proportions.
No it doesn't.
Nah, it fits perfectly fine.
No it really isn't.
Seems pretty fitting for Star Trek Discovery.
There is a crashed ship near the beginning of the trailer that has a slight resemblance to an Excelsior Class study model

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I don't know why anyone engages tuskin with this kind of thing. It's just not worth the time or energy.
That said, STD is a fine abbreviation. That's just what happens if people find a funnier option than the norm. It's nothing to be bothered by, it just is what it is and it's not going to go away.
Even if everyone really really really liked it, it'd probably still be stuck as std.
I honestly think anyone calling Discovery "STD" is just signaling "my opinion isn't worth listening to."
If you have such contempt for a show to the extent you won't even use its proper abbreviation (DSC), all you're saying to me is that your opinion is wildly biased and not worth my putting much weight into.
I like Discovery as generic scifi shlock. It's far too JJ Abrams to be a proper Star Trek show (because, let's be honest, the Star Trek shows are predominantly people just talking; the action and flashy effects almost always take a back seat in all of the other Star Treks), but I don't see it hurting the IP in any way.
I watched Discovery alongside The Expanse and Dark Matter, and I found those to be good company for it. It's a perfectly competent scifi show with a few writing faux pas. Take it for what it is, not what its title claims it to be or what detractors want it to be, and I think most people can enjoy it.
I didn't think DS9 was too bad. Probably my favorite premier, and it's got Duet, one of the best episodes of the franchise.
